Topic: RE: Adrenal Fatigue?

First of all THANK YOU!!!!!
I am looking into all of these ideas...at this point, getting a new doctor is a no brainer...I have asked for a referal, but don't really know what type of doctor I need...?...I may go to a local gastric surgeon or an endocrinologist...?..
I am calling this morning to request a copy of my lab results. How can I learn to "read" them?
I know we all have different opinions and ideas and I WELCOME EVERY IDEA...I spent the morning soaking in a HOT Epson Salt bath and crying, because I am so very tired of feeling so very tired and hurting so bad. When I got out I had to explain to my kids why Mommy was sooo upset. Now I have sprayed my shoulders and back with menthol and taken a tylonol and may be able to survive another day. On a good note my blood pressure is up this morning 133/65, so I am not dizzy.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!
Love,
Tonya SC

Topic: RE: Adrenal Fatigue?

Tonya im so sorry i know this feeling that is a very low blood preasure low and high blood preasures do diffrent things to diffrent people. I would see some kind of doctor but until you get there try this for your low blood preasure. drink alot of water after drinking as much as you can check your blood preasure and see if its up alittle. If it is maybe your not drinking enough plus if you check your blood preasure at home as i do maybe you need a new machine. just to make sure its reading right as for the fog and fatigue we have all been though this hear if your thinking you have fibro do you also have soar tender points. When you go to the doctor write down all that you are feel doctors dont allways understand if everything is related and some want to treat every thin seprate instead of together. now back to the bp. I have fibro i hve not as of yet had my wls i am allways tired i am weak and my blood preasure goes from high to low when im at rest my blood preasure will get really low but will also get to low if im not drinking alot.

Topic: Adrenal Fatigue?

HI,
I am not sure this is the "right" forum for my problem, but I had to share it somewhere. I had VSG 2 years ago in Mexico, did GREAT up until 4 months ago...at the time I was riding bikes 4-5 times a week, now I stay in bed almost all day. I am weak, achy, foggy, blurred vision, low BP...89/44 or lower...have had blood work by my family doc, she says it looks pretty good and told me to drink Gatorade and V-8 juice. Meanwhile, I am getting NO better...It is MUCH worse after a stressful day...I will be in bed for 2-3 days to re-coup...I am looking into adrenal fatigue and have asked my doc to refer me to another doctor, since I have been seeing her for 11 weeks now with NO improvment.
I would LOVE advice! I am beginning to feel hopeless, I am only 41 years old, yet I feel like I am 141! No one seems to understand...I don't even understand...HELP ME PLEASE,
Tonya

Topic: No NSAIDS at all after WLS?

Is the issue that you can't take pills...can you get injections or anything? NSAIDS are the only thing that help my fibro pain. I've tried savella and others and they just made me crazy and didn't help.

I realy want WLS but don't knopw if I can handle life after weight loss if I have to deal with undiluted pain. ; (

Topic: RE: is it wrong to be this scared need advice

Thank you i needed that some times help comes from the weirdest places went to my family doctor today. It was awful didnt have a baby sitter for alex and he was being well a normal 22 month old the doctor was laughing at me because i was chasing him every were hes just tall enough to open all the doors. well the doctor says hes all boy lol i agree there as im sitting on a chair in front of the door and alex is climbing on a kids table to turn the light off and on. Any way im sweating and exhausted from trying to keep him out of things and i tell the doctor im scared about my surgery that i want to be hear for my baby boy he just looks at me and says do you think youll be hear if you dont get healthy for that baby boy. the answer is no and i have to do this for my very active little boy.

I am sorry you are feeling this way. As with anything, the "unknown" is always scary. Try to think only in the present. As my mom use to say "Don't borrow tomorrow's troubles, today has enough of its own".

You will get through this just like you did all the other surgeries.

Topic: is it wrong to be this scared need advice

Im going to open my heart up alittle bit. Im scared really scared am i normal? I keep thinking what if something happens to me who will love alex the way i do who will take care of him. But then i allso think if i dont do this i wont be around to take care of him or wont be able to move around to keep up with him. Im not sleeping well because im looking for answers am i the only one that has felt this way. Ive been though many surgeries does this make it better or worse. I know what to exspect pain wise its the unnowns that scare me. I have had nission funmulcation, gallbladder, appendix c section, kidney stone surgery, tonletamy, and a few others so why am i so scared I always remember being scared with the other surgerys but it was diffrent i had to do them could some one offer me advice. im driving my self crazy i want this just scared want to be hear for my baby.

Topic: RE: Denined

You are so welcome. I was going to use Binder & Binder but I read about them and they didn't have good reviews. I was given a lot of paper work to do from my attorney. I thought the lawyer would ask questions then plunk it into the computer. But the paper work is mind boggling. I will keep you posted. I have been out of the loop for awhile but I am back to posting. I need to update my profile but do check it out. Thank you
